What purchasing practices are required for buyers on Fair Trade orders? Are they required to make a long-term commitment to suppliers?
Responsible Sourcing Principles are part of the contract that companies will be asked to sign when they become licensed with TransFair USA to sell Fair Trade Certified™ apparel. Companies make a commitment to align their sourcing practices, as well as their social responsibility efforts, with Fair Trade values of fairness, empowerment and sustainability. The Responsible Sourcing Principles address fair pricing, repeat orders, and increasing volume commitments for successful Fair Trade products.
